More of The Waltons in 2022! New movie details
According to Deadline, the new TV movie is called The Waltons' Thanksgiving. It's set in 1934 and will feature much of the cast from The Waltons' Homecoming (last year's Christmas film), including original star Richard Thomas.
But there is one cast change. After Ben Lawson played "John Walton Sr." in The Waltons' Homecoming, actor Teddy Sears will take over the role in the Thanksgiving movie. It premieres on The CW in late 2022.

Through the years
Of course, The Waltons is the classic series that was among TV's most popular of the 1970s. The show ended in 1981 and was followed by a few additional TV movies.
The Christmas movie in 2021 was a surprise comeback for The Waltons. In the end, fans were divided on the actual film, but it did score solid ratings.
And we'll do it again with the "Walton" family this Thanksgiving.
